Provisional balance sheet vs audited

There can be change in audited balance due to audit observations. Some times both can be same if audit completed and clerical work pending

Provisional balance sheet is for projectio and sometimes has to be given to the bank
audited one is also required in banks but under different scenarios.

Projected is different from provisional

Provisional Balance sheet may differ from audited balance sheet as provisional is only estimation of figures not finalisation.

It depends on the accounting status.

In few cases , we have finalized FS but waiting for Tds updation in 26AS . Provisional figures almost similar to Audited .

But it need not be same .

Projected can be estimated but provisional as per the accounts available but not audited yet

It does not depend on the accounting status.
TDS UPDATION IS AUTOMATIC. LOG INTO TRACES.

If accounting is completed in all respects then there won't be much difference between provisional and actual audited.

So accounting status is very much important.

Tds may be updated later but if is already accounted in accounts then no difference araises between provisional and audited

Let me explain the accounting process
1. before finalization all bills must be booked
2..accruals for all others items must be taken into consideration.
3. daily utility bills must be considered at the fag end of the year.
4. all purchase bills and sales bill must be booked.5. cut offs must be separately established and circulated.
6. balance confirmation of all assets and liabilities must be ascertained.
7 ..fixed asset registrr update
8. liabilities register update.

If all finalization process is completed and just Auditors signature pending with few clarifications then in this case provisional and audited may not have much difference.

That's why I quoted that it depends on accounting status
